"I've got a 112 year old hose that is pretty solid, but it had a cracked floor joist and part of the flooring wasn't properly supported. I hired Kristian and his team to install a couple of lally columns to support a carrying beam and sister a couple of floor joists. Many contractors wouldn't even return my call because I wasn't looking to complete a huge remodel job, but Kristian came over, gave me a fair verbal estimate on the spot, and worked with me on timing to complete the project. Not only that, but the solution wasn't overly complicated. The job was straightforward, completed exactly as described in the time described, and there was no scope creep. If I ever have a larger need, they'll certainly be my first call. I would highly recommend K&X construction if you need any services that they offer."
"Easy process from quote to work complete. The crew worked on a few small projects -- fixed a damaged wall, repaired flooring, and installed a new toilet."
"He put Pcv boards around three sides.of my Shed. Just done yesterday 5/14 and since today has been raining I haven't checked to see how it's handling the rain run-off. But as far as installing the boards, it looks great."
"I had a great experience with Apex Home Installations. Joe mounted my TV quickly and did a clean, professional job. I appreciate how smooth and hassle-free the whole process was. Would definitely recommend and use again!"
"Adam and his team (Marco and Danny) are excellent! Removed old kitchen cabinets and granite counter top, put up new drywall and installed new cabinets with precision (my countertop is now level!), and they tiled backsplash. His communication with logistics/timing was spot on. He and his team worked efficiently to get the job done and quality of work is top notch. I would absolutely hire them again."
"We had our shower area replaced and the install took 1 day. The team was very knowledgeable and helpful and the shower was customized to my liking!! Would highly recommend !!"
"Nixon responded quickly and was able to install a new back storm door for us. The only problem is that it looks nicer than the front door now! :) Excellent work! Hired him to do several projects at Mom's now!"
"I would highly recommend Bath Planet of CT. From the sales rep to the installers. The shower install exceeded my expectations. When the installation was complete, not only did they take all the old pieces of the shower with them, they even swept my staircase to ensure everything was clean. Again, I would highly recommend Bath Planet of CT."
"Jose remodeled two full bathrooms in my townhouse. One of the remodeled bathrooms was a shift in the actual layout/dimensions of the bathroom itself. It entailed moving a wall and configuring a new closet space. I had an idea of how the new layout of the full bath should be, but Jose helped decide the right shower size/vanity dimensions to make the most out of the space. When it came to pick out the finishes, he was very helpful if I had any logistical questions (will it fit? Is it the right type? Will I need any additional parts, etc). Jose is also a great collaborator to brainstorm ideas. He could also gently and respectfully talk me out of a couple of my bad ideas which I appreciated. A couple of unforeseen issues arose during the construction that were outside the scope of the project and Jose talked me through the problem and was able to get the right people (HVAC, Plumber, etc) out to fix the issues. One thing that I found to be incredibly valuable was that Jose was VERY responsive via phone call or text messaging. I could call or text him day or night if I had any questions/concerns. I would highly recommend Jose and J&J Angeles Home Improvement. I am definitely planning on hiring Jose and his team for future projects."
"Jermaine is one of those handymen who is worth their weight in gold. I hired him and his team to perform a variety of odd jobs around my newly purchased house, and they stayed late - on a Friday afternoon no less - to successfully install appliances that Home Depot was unable to install (appliance installation was not on my original list because I didn’t think it was something Jermaine’s group did). All work Jermaine and his team did met or exceeded my expectations, and the entire time, Jermaine was focused on doing as much for me as he could. I will 100% hire Jermaine again the next time I need a handyman, and you should too."

Strike plates and security plates are the same thing, but there are strike plates that offer more security than others.
